Raggalds Snipe Fest

DW rang me at 1225 hrs to say there were at least 8 Snipe probably more feeding in the open in the boggy section of Raggalds Flood.

This is a good count; I can't recall any number like that being previously recorded.

Littlemoor Park was quiet and so was the rest of the area I covered under the aegis of Queensbury South. 1 Snipe, 8 Lapwing, 4 Blackbird, 3 Pied Wagtail, couple Mipit, 1 Mistle Thrush ditto Goldfinch, 2 Chaffinch, few small gulls, numerous Starling.
